If you're going to buy the game now then don't, Wait till has more patches/configuration tweaker and comes down in prices..

I disagree with most of that. Certainly try to get it for less than £20, but there is no reason not to get it right now. Even with its flaws, the game is lots of fun.

Greenmangaming with the two discount codes posted somewhere around here (in the GMG thread I think) - £23 or so it works out at.

Its pretty good actually.

Keyboard controls cause the game to be abit clunky at the moment but a patch should be here soon fixing that issue. For the time being 360 controller is silky smooth.

The game itself is very fun, ive spent nearly 2 hours just killing zombs and collecting what ever I can find, without even spending time on the quests yet.

If you purchase off GMG, there is a code which gives you 20% off, making it circa £23. Plus if you use some ones referral code, you get £5 credit back in your account for future purchases.

EDIT;

Referal link for £5

Just banged in on this, downloading now.

Got 2 codes, do I just use one on Steam or do I do one, install it and then do another?

6GB download seems a bit small?

liamcrane · 10 Sep 2011 at 21:01

What 2 codes did you use matey? tempted to pick this up myself now as well

mehuk · 10 Sep 2011 at 21:07

I got 2 codes from Green Man Gaming - I used the discount code for 20% earlier in this thread, worked out at 23.96.. not too bad.

So I may nip up town tomoz which version should I buy PS3 or the Windows vision for my Macbook pro? Even if the 6750M 1Gb isn't the best GPU I'm sure it still better look better than the PS3 version. I have the MBP connected to the TV so I can still sit on the sofa like console gamers. I hear that the game feels like it was designed ti be played on a controller though. I may get it from game as there's extra content if you buy it from there.

It looks to be about 35-40% as fast as my deaktop 5870, which runs it at around 80-100fps with everything maxed, 1920x1080. So either dropping the settings a little or running at 720p should be plenty smooth.

mehuk · 10 Sep 2011 at 21:08

ffs my connection has hit the proverbial wall

Had 30% done lovely, now im not even getting a download speed... cmon Steam :mad:

liamcrane · 10 Sep 2011 at 21:22

I can't connect to anyone else's games, I get this error:

"Connection Failed

You have been disconnected from the game"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkItwL1kAeA

If you listen carefully I can actually hear the others players microphones while im on the loading screen so it does manage to connect then just pops up with connection failed.

If people join my game (in exactly the same place of the story, standing in the same place etc) we can talk, we get loot everyone else picks up but we can't see each other.

Any ideas? I can't find anyone else with this problem.

No firewall, no proxies, connected directly to modem, tried verifying steam files and reinstalling.

QlimaxUK · 10 Sep 2011 at 23:20

im on act 2 now

Neil79 · 10 Sep 2011 at 23:23

CaptainRAVE · 10 Sep 2011 at 23:29

SuperTronNarwhal · 10 Sep 2011 at 23:49
